With Dillon Powers injured, U.S. youth international Dillon Serna will be charged with leading the attack along with new addition Jose Mari. Serna's quickness is expected to cause the Galaxy's diamond midfield fits so Juninho will need to cover the passing lanes to prevent him from linking up into the attack.

Robbie Keane vs. Drew Moor

LA Galaxy captain Robbie Keane will get his first crack at the Colorado Rapids in more than two years when he slots into the starting XI. Look for him to continuely wander back into the midfield as he looks to pull the steady Rapids defender out of position to create space for other attackers.

Edson Buddle vs. Omar Gonzalez

Landon Donovan is not the only one who is trying to set a record as forward Edson Buddle will look to score the 100th regular season goal of his career against his old team. It'll be up to the physical Gonzalez to keep Buddle off balance and limit opportunties.

CARSON, Calif. - The LA Galaxy will be without the services of midfielder Marcelo Sarvas for their clash on Saturday with the Colorado Rapids and quite possibly several more matches.

Sarvas told reporters on Friday prior to the team's departure for Colorado that he is currently suffering from an MCL sprain that occured during training earlier in the week. Following training, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena confirmed that Sarvas is unvailable for the match against Colorado. The Brazilian midfielder went on to add that he'll likely miss several more weeks as he recovers from the injury.

“It's an MCL, the ligament, but it's not torn, it's [sprained],” Sarvas told reporters. “It just the first days. Now it's waiting day after day to recover and get better.”

As for who will start in place of Sarvas, Gyasi Zardes appears to be the most likely option to slide in as he began the season out wide on the right side of midfield.

CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy will take on former teammate Pablo Mastroeni on Saturday as the former LA midfielder turned Colorado Rapids will look to lead Colorado to a victory past his former club.

"If that was the case, Diego Maradona would have been a great coach. Pele would be coaching. Ruud Gullit would still be coaching at Galaxy," Arena told LA Galaxy Insider earlier this week. "Playing experience…you can almost throw out the window when it comes to coaching. There is not a lot of correlation. It helps but there is not really a correlation. Coaching and playing are two different animals and two different skill sets."

Think Arena is right? What high-profile player in world soccer and MLS do you believe would make the best coach?

The LA Galaxy will return to action against the Colorado Rapids on Saturday and ahead of the match, the team issued an injury report that includes one member of their frequent starting XI.

Midfielder Marcelo Sarvas is listed as questionable due to a a knee issue and is joined on that list by goalkeeper Brian Perk (left adductor strain) and left back Todd Dunivant (abdominal strain). Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena told reporters earlier in the week that Dunivant was "unlikely" to participate against the Rapids on Saturday.

"It's slower than I'd like. The frustrating part is that there's nothing that you can do about an abdominal tear," said Dunivant. "It's one of those injuries that is frustrating because you can't do anything, you can't do fitness, you can't [lift] weights because everything you do, you use your abs. It's frustrating from an athletes standpoint because you just have to be patient and rest.

"After giving it a couple of weeks, I tried to come back and everything was going fine, but it just wasn't fully healed yet," Dunivant said. "So we had to give it more time and back off, and that's where I am right now."

As for the timetable for his recovery, Dunivant is making no assurances that he'll be back by LA's match against the Portland Timbers next week.

"I'd love to say next game, but I really can't," Dunivant said. "This thing has been unpredictable and I have pain even just sitting up...I was out at training earlier this week on Monday and I was able to run and get around the field without too much difficulty, but then, I still can't sit up right or do a sit up without a sharp pain.

"It's healing, but it is not all the way there. I haven't even touched a ball yet and I still have to get through those reps," he continued. "It's going to be a little while longer and hopefully I can [make it back] quicker, but this thing has a mind of it's own and when it is ready to heal then it is going to be ready."

CARSON, Calif. – If Landon Donovan is going to take hold of the MLS all-time regular season goal scoring record before the World Cup, he’ll have to do it fast.

With the 30-man U.S. preliminary squad for the World Cup congregating in Stanford, Calif., on May 14, Donovan has just two league matches left with the Galaxy, starting with Saturday’s match against the Colorado Rapids on Saturday.

Although plenty of focus has been placed on Donovan’s pursuit of the league’s all-time regular season goal record, the Galaxy forward is putting little emphasis on the record.

“It’s been quite a while now that we’ve been talking about the goal,” said Donovan. “I want to keep playing well and have the team continue to play well. Eventually the goal will come, but right now the focus is on as a team.”

CONCACAF and their South American counterparts CONMEBOL announced at a press conference in Miami on Thursday that the “2016 Copa America Centenario” which is the 100th edition of tournament will take place at venues across the United States from June 3-26. The “Centenario” will include 10 countries from South America and six nations from CONCACAF.

The U.S. and Mexico will both be entered in the tournament and be joined by the 2014 Central American Cup and 2014 Caribbean Cup champions as well as two of the four semifinalists in the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Although the matches will not take place on official FIFA dates, CONMEBOL president Eugenio Figueredo told reporters that both organizations are attempting to work with FIFA for the dates to be recognized by the global soccer body by the time the tournament starts.
